Description:

On October 15, 1965, tenor saxophone master and composer Wayne Shorter recorded his brilliant and ambitious multi-layered ninth album for Blue Note. Shorter's goal with this album was to use "a wider range of colors and textures" while continuing his exploration of "life, the universe, and God." Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Grachan Moncur III on trombone, James Spaulding on alto saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Joe Chambers on drums, and on one track, Wayne's brother Alan Shorter Shorter's exploratory spirit is evident in his participation on flugelhorn.
